Despite advanced water filtration and distribution in most cities, some have bad or even dangerous water. One only has to remember the Flint, Michigan, water crisis that began in 2014 and lasted for years. Several other cities have water considered \u201cbad,\u201d based on an analysis of headlines. (These cities will grow the most by 2060.)<\/p>\n
Headlines may not be a good metric for bad or dangerous water. However, they certainly affect public opinion. The Behind Bad Water Headlines: An Investigative Report from water treatment supplier WaterFilterGuru.com used the headline methodology. It was something less than an investigation. Rather, it was the simplest of counts.<\/p>\n
The methodology had one metric. It was to search headlines for keywords \u201cforever chemicals,\u201d \u201cresidents without water,\u201d \u201cboil water notice\u201d and \u201cwater contamination.\u201d About 18,000 headlines were examined and vetted by using \u201cGPT3 to extract the location from each headline.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t
